January 10, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Fewer young men in the US want to get married than ever, while the desire for marriage is rising among young women, according to the Pew Research Center.

Pew recently found that the number of women 18-34 saying that having a successful marriage is one of the most important things rose from 28 percent to 37 percent since 1997. The number of young adult men saying the same thing dropped from 35 percent to 29 percent in the same time.

Pew’s findings have caught the attention of one US writer who maintains that feminism, deeply entrenched in every segment of the culture, has created an environment in which young men find it more beneficial to simply opt out of couple-dom entirely.

Suzanne Venker’s article, “The War on Men,” which appeared on the website of Fox News in late November, has become a lodestone for feminist writers who have attacked her position that the institution of marriage is threatened, not enhanced, by the supposed gains of the feminist movement over the last 50 years.

“Where have all the good (meaning marriageable) men gone?” is a question much talked about lately in the secular media, Venker says, but her answer, backed up by statistics, is not to the liking of mainstream commentators influenced by feminism.

The good men, like me, get burnt once and learn our lesson. I did everything in the world for my wife for 16 years only to have her betray me. She even admitted to everyone it's her fault but it's "her life and she can do what she wants". I doubt I'll ever marry again, but if I do it will be to an Asian or some other culture where the women aren't raised to be psychotic hippos who are never happy. American women SUCK. Yes, there are exceptions but they're few and far between. All the good ones are snatched up young and for a 40 year old like me the choices are divorced moms looking for a payday, or young golddiggers. I'll pass.

^^^This. Very well written and 100% true and can relate. It is the real truth that a lot of people silently do not discuss in media etc.

i agree with what you are saying but be careful when dealing with foreign women as well.

i knew of someone who married a woman from an asian country

and she took him for all he was worth...

divorced him and took it all

and in the meantime imported her family here to live while they were married....

Trust me, I'm not in any hurry. Like I said, I doubt I'll ever marry again. If I do, prenup. I got took for over 300 grand plus ridiculous child support. Evidently we reward adultery these days.

"Not many people know that Feminist media darling, Gloria Steinem, was in fact working for the CIA - or that Ms. Magazine was a CIA funded publication. So far, this is the most in-depth video on YouTube on the subject."

The NWO and its minions in the CIA are eugenicists who wish to depopulate the earth, hence their corruption of traditional values of marriage and the family. A weak population can be "re-educated."

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

Well, I believe it is working lol! Any good man that has been screwed by the "system", will not partake in "system" anymore. It becomes a ripple effect...just like throwing a rock in a still pond...

Our landscape of marriage is way different from now than the 1960's. Married people are required to have jobs... both. No way to afford it otherwise.

Thank your lords of the land for that one. Parenting is done by the school and by the t.v.

Why wouldn't women give up on marriage? There is nothing to gain unless you are rich.

Young men are just that. Metrosexual beings. They don't know what they are.

I don't agree with this. Plenty of people could get by on one income but "have" to have ipods, new car every three years, etc. In the firm I'm in we all make well into 6 figs and almost all my coworkers have working spouses. Plain ole' greed.

My generation was enjoying our early 20's when online social networking took over. I can't speak for every guy, but my standards for wife material went way up when "nice girls" realized how much attention they got by showing off cleavage to their 500 "closest friends".

I started to think maybe I'm just going for the wrong women... maybe I need to find one that doesn't have an online profile where she shares every damn detail of every relationship. Nothing is worse than getting blasted publicly for some argument that was expected to remain private.

As it turns out, a girl without social networking is like the proverbial virgin bride and I stopped being an idealist in thinking that Holy Grail is out there. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but it's difficult to want to marry a girl that thinks it's classy to broadcast her ass and tits on the internet.

All that is to say that despite what bothers me about the growing trend of low self-esteemed females out there, it saved me from a few that I was ready to commit to way too early.

I'm not saying my future wife isn't out there, but I've learned that being 31 and having no kids - while many of my friends have their own little monsters - is pretty fucking awesome. In other words, why buy the cow when the milk is on clearance?

Why on earth would ANYONE get married nowadays. It's another form of slavery and wealth distribution.

Boy hook up with anyone for a year and bam they get half your fucking assets. They dont have to even live with you all they need is your mobile phone number, your Facebook page and they can invent any kind of "relationship" they want with you. Text messages, email logs,.......for one year and bam they can make a grab for some of your stash and you will cost you heaps trying to defend yourself from their claim.
